Boa Pousada próxima ao Quadrado

A Pousada fica muito bem localizada, a 5 minutos a pé do Quadrado. Possui uma boa piscina e o tamanho do quarto atende bem. Além disso o dono da Pousada e sua equipe são muito atenciosos e preocupados em agradar os hóspedes. Possui um bom custo-benefício, apesar de também não oferecer grandes luxos como outras pousadas mais famosas em Trancoso. Como pontos fracos, não gostamos do ar condicionado do quarto, achamos muito fraco, o que salvou foi o fato do quarto ter ventilador de teto. O café da manhã é OK, porém começa a servir um pouco tarde (8:00 am), poderia começar às 07:00. E também gostaríamos de um melhor serviço na piscina, talvez um bar com um bom cardápio de drinks e petiscos. Recomendo para quem não quer gastar demais nas Pousadas mais caras de Trancoso.

No complaints at all.

The hotel was nice and small with maybe 9 or so rooms and villas. Our villa was perfect for two adults and two kids, it has a lot of space and very comfortable. It is maybe a ten minute walk to the main square and a ten minute walk to the non-tourist part of town where you can really find good typical Brazilian food.

Os dias na pousada Samambaia foram incríveis! Tudo delicioso, o café da manhã cheio de guloseimas feitas no dia e com variedade total. Quarto aconchegante, espaçoso e muito limpo. Piscina delícia. E a equipe de profissionais absolutamente delicados e dispostos a fazer a estadia inesquecível. Além de ser muito perto do quadrado, porém preservado da multidão que enche a Vila no carnação. Eu adorei e voltaria novamente.

Pousada Samambaia

Os atendentes não “atendem” sao acomodados e não são prestativos, o café da manhã é bem fraco com poucas opções. A pousada era com piso de areia… o quarto tinha um cheiro estranho… a água do banheiro mudava a temperatura depois de um tempo de uso… A rua era escura…
